Crush (2021)

Oh my Dear LORD !!!!! GEM

Its been 2 hours since I have finished watching this drama completely and still struggling to find appropriate words in my vocabulary to best describe this drama, if I say it was splendid then i am under praising it.
This show is more than Splendid.
I saw the trailer of this show maybe a year ago, but nothing much stood out when the trailer first came out. Just that the ML is blind and nothing special stood out in the trailer, but there was something about this drama which made me keep checking its on-air schedule date every month. I cannot describe in words that pull this drama had from the beginning.
This drama touched on very sensitive topics like one of disabilities which is visual disability, autism, delusion. Writer has very smartly incorporated these things in the show.
Whenever a normal person sees a blind guy, he usually tend to show pity because they cannot see the world and it sort a makes them handicap. But in this show they have showed even Blind people can live normally in this society but its just that they see stuff through their ears and nose (sense of smell). " They don't need our pity, all they ask is to treat them as equals". what a beautiful message.
About acting: A BIG BIG BIG BIG SUPER BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE ML of the drama Evan Lin. Man oh Man this guy can act, sing, and also looks super dashing on the screen. His visual stand is just out of this world. I kept thinking why such a talented man, who is so good looking made his television debut so late. I guess he was waiting for the right script or this script chose him i dont know, but i want to assume its fated that he had to portray Su Nian Qin. I cannot imagine any other actor as Su Nian Qin. He is so so convincing as the blind person in the 1st half of the drama. I mean even blind person can be short tempered, can show tantrums because why not even they are normal human being. This guy has shown all the emotions so effortlessly that i couldn't believe that this is his 1st drama. This guy is going to sore high and definitely has a very bright future and I am going to watch every single drama of his in the future.
I am not a fan of Wan Peng because all her other drama characters have certain pattern and I was afraid even this character of hers will behave the same and I was right, it happened. But, i guess later they have justified why she behaved in a certain way. So there are no loose ends in this drama. She has done a decent job.
Music: Oh god!!! OSTs are just mesmerizing. Every song has a meaning, reason and the timing it is played in the drama. Cherry on top is most of the songs are sung by our ML himself.
He is good on eyes and ears. Also, he gets dimples on both the cheeks what more can a fan ask for. This guy is just perfect. I cannot stop myself from going on and on about Evan.
Whoever sees this comment and whenever that maybe just drop your other dramas and watch this, you will not be disappointed.

No shortage of CP moments

Just finished watching these and dang, I renewed my IQIYI subscription just so I could fast track all 24 episodes, and I don't regret it one bit!

Overall, it's a light-hearted drama full of cute CP moments between the two leads. I love that the storyline was a little different and that they were all about inclusivity, e.g. addressing being blind, autistic, depression etc. I'm glad they were addressing some real situations. Not forgetting, the issues that most youngster's face these days about chasing your dream vs finding a stable job, the hardships in relationships and families.

I did think for a second that his possessiveness over her became a little creepy at some points (I mean, who expects to always pick up their phone calls) and that her temper was starting to be a little annoying for me (I don't know how Nian Qin did it), but I think it suited the show quite well given their chemistry and characters. Though I must say I was a little annoyed they didn't make her pregnancy more realistic, I mean when she says "he just rolled around inside" and they show a side view of her and there's barely any bump, it just didn't help with the imagination and visualisation of the situation.

But apart that, the music scores were great and I think the show lived up to it's hype!

Definitely recommend it if you're looking for something relatively quick and easy to watch!

Como un drama corto puede quedarse a medio camino?

Voy a tratar de ser todo lo objetivo que pueda sobre un drama que no me gusto.
La historia hasta el capitulo 8 era entretenida ya que solo teníamos el foco en la pareja principal y destellos del pasado del ML y la pareja secundaria pero después de que se tuvo que profundizar en mas cosas el drama pierde su camino al punto de q no se encuentra mas.
Los actores principales (Juntos): este es el punto mas fuerte del drama sin dudas porque es innegable la química que hay entre los 2, te llevan al punto de estar apoyándolos y queriendo ver mas muestras de afecto.
(Por separado): el ML es muy correcto en cuanto a su representación de una persona con ceguera congénita y el entorno al principio del drama estuvo bien, su personaje fue entendible y realista. la FL aunque actuó como aparentemente se lo pidieron, su personaje es horrible, mezquino, inmaduro y egoísta, tampoco me queda claro que tan profesional de psicología es o a los escritores se les olvido ese detalle...
La pareja secundaria y los antagonistas, innecesarios, la verdad podrían haber saltado todas sus partes y a nadie les hubiera interesado.
El segundo punto fuerte del drama es la constante presencia de la música para acompañar además de los OST, esto me encanto.
En fin es un drama romántico corto con un buen comienzo hasta la mitad y desde ahí decadencia hasta el final.

2/3 of total episode is worth to see, the rest are...

The story :
as the headline i wrote, the 2/3 part of the story is worth to watch. I really love how they falling in love with each other, i love the nuance. i like the FL was brave enough and how she face the world till i almost believe she able to face her struggle even without the ML.
I keep believing that the ML will have a really good reason to keep his relationship and get back to FL and become a couple again
Instead, the drama giving me another classic story plot to make the FL getting dragged again and again and the one who stated clearly about "begin" again is the FL .
i insist till the end for the saken of how they dealing with the mental health issue's of the FL. but i've got dissapointed again.

Music :
i love the ost. tho'

Acting :
the acting both actor and actress are really good i have to admit it since this is the first project of the ML

Um verdadeiro mercado Guanabara

Na verdade, eu nem esperava escrever nada aqui, mas urge em mim a necessidade de me comunicar com o roterista/criador desse drama e perguntar: Você está bem?

Me nego a imaginar que uma pessoa saudável poderia produzir algo assim, e não me levem a mal, “Crush” está longe de ser um drama ruim, mas definitivamente nasceu de um surto psicótico ou de usos pesados de drogas.

Eu confesso, resolvi assistir por dois simples motivos: o cast e as polêmicas. Nada tenho a dizer sobre os protagonistas, impecáveis, como eu já esperava. E quanto as polêmicas, eu posso estar errada, mas não é tudo isso de ruim que as pessoas andam falando nas redes sociais. Nian Qin de fato teve algumas falas problemáticas e errou como qualquer outro humano; amadureceu em muitos aspectos, em outros era só mais um homem semi-conservador. O único relacionamento verdadeiramente abusivo que você vai encontrar aqui é o do roterista com o espectador.

Acho que digo por todos que o episódio 22 é um soco no estômago, talvez tenha sido ali onde a história me perdeu e por isso não darei uma nota mais alta, mas sinto que forçaram a barra no equilíbrio entre as problemáticas dos personagens. O que era pra ser a história de amor entre um músico cego e uma jovem que sonhava em ser locutora de rádio, aos poucos se tornou a história de sobrevivência do amor entre um jovem ex-cego, ex-músico, ex-autista, ex-órfão e uma jovem psicóloga, locutora de rádio, surda de tons, com transtorno pós traumático com experiências esquizóides.

Parece brincadeira, né, caro leitor? Eu queria estar brincando. Aos poucos foi se tornando cansativo entender o projeto de aniversário do supermercado Guanabara esse drama virou e tentar dar respostas e justificativas para as pontas soltas e personagens perdidos durante os episódios. Enquanto pensava no que escreveria aqui, pensei em tentar descontrair com alguns sarcasmos, mas percebi que todos correspondiam ao sentido literal. Não quero te desencorajar a ver essa história, eu realmente acredito que ela merece uma chance, entretanto como alguém que também ama dramas, eu sinto que deveria alertar, então, obrigada por ler até aqui.

Nope... definitely not a 10

I don’t know why so many reviewers are giving it a 10??! Maybe because it’s quite artsy? Yes the production and quality is quite good. I liked how the drama showed the audience how visually impaired people live their lives and get an education.

But unfortunately the pace of the story’s development was too slow and boring. I understand that the ML was cold and cut off because of his past etc, but his acting was kinda dull and mellow for me. I wasn’t too keen on FL WanPeng either, the way she carried herself and I felt like she mumbles a lot.

Honestly wanted to finish this because the other reviews were so good, but nah. I just skipped WAAAYYY too much. Gonna move on to the next :)

AMAZING

Firstly the actors had amazing chemistry.. the male lead gave me life with is excellent acting skills.. Female lead has always been a fav of mines in any drama.Male debut was in 100 and positively amazing.. The music choice was excellent and adding to scene and gave me life.. the combination of everything left me wanting to watch more and more.. Let me say i didnt expect much from this drama but it caught me off guard wit its excitement. The whole cast was great and storylines was exciting. I definitely recommend watching and i will be rewatching soon.. I LOVED IT AND CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN A DRAMA....

What happened and why so many 10 stars???

So first of all: I couldn't bring myself to watch it past episode 9, there were so many plot holes and so many things unexplained from the beginning I kept asking myself "what is happening?" (and not because I am stupid lol).

I had enough of it when the FL starts living in the home of the ML out of the blue and when I saw that, once again out of the blue, the FL finds a love rival in her boss/superior at work, which totally didn't make sense to me.

From the beginning the FL lines were so embarrassing until her and the ML get together, which is when they did not need to be embarrassing anymore, because the plot became more embarrassing instead.

There were so many plot holes, it was like if the writer wanted to reach a destination but did not know how and just reached it by teleporting all the characters there without explaining anything on how they reached that point. And still, at the beginning it was still not so terrible, it really got worse when they got together somehow (and they got together relatively soon in the series).

All I want to know is how this drama reached this many positive reviews...

So, about the plot mess I only have two hypothesis:
1. the screenwriter did not know how to do their job properly (I really hope it is not so),
2. the screenwriter did write a screen for a longer drama, meaning more episodes, without plot holes, but then the production decided to cut it shorter and they cut plenty parts, leaving us with unbearable (imo) plot holes (I prefer to believe this second hypothesis).

Overall though I have mixed feelings about this drama, cause I really enjoyed the story underneath it, at the beginning, the "what could have been", the acting of the ML, the ML per se was perfect, I also really emjoyed the school setting in the beginning, where the ML was teaching and stopped all of a sudden. But the plot holes and the overlooked mistakes/nonsense were just too much... So in the end I have no choice but to drop this drama because of the "what actually is", having to forget about the "what could have been" and reading some other reviews I am relieved I am dropping it at ep 9 and not later on.

I would not recommend anybody to watch this, unless you really don't mind major plot holes and a few nonsense production decisions here and there.
